The artwork entitled “Annunciation,” created by Kiki Smith in 2008, is a significant piece within the Feminist Art movement and belongs to the genre of sculpture. The sculpture presents a seated figure that evokes a sense of contemplation and solemnity. The figure is crafted in a metallic finish and is depicted with one arm raised, suggesting a gesture of greeting or benediction. The fine details of the sculpture, including the texture and posture, reflect Smith’s meticulous craftsmanship and contribute to the overall narrative and thematic depth of the piece. The figure is seated on a simple, understated wooden bench, which serves to ground the ethereal quality of the sculpture and situates it within a context that invites viewers to engage directly with the work’s symbolic and aesthetic dimensions.
